As I said David, just a thought. But Rimmers do list a different part number albeit one number out for the MGF/TF range even though they all look identical. I think the supplier should be asked why the difference.

I do know that on the 1.8 there are two different types of belt tensioner. One is called a manual and the other is an automatic tensioner. The difference other that the name and operation is the belt width. Looking at your comparison photos the two drive wheels look different sizes. Maybe you...

Ok, so home now and have just read the owners handbook. Its not a one touch operation its press and hold. So I press the bottom of the switch and the roof tilts and then slides open as it should. I press the top of the switch and the roof slides forward and then drops into place as it should...

Ive done the usual search but not really found an answer. Most sunroofs seem to rattle during operation or rattle with no movement. My sunroof works perfectly both opening and closing but rattles when completely closed with the switch pressed. Should the operation be a one touch or should the...

Sorry Dave I didn't realise that. I thought it was the same system as an MGF. I had an MGZS that had the same system ie sealed and plastic and had the same problem. It turned out the bracket that held the slave had bent and wasn't giving full travel for the piston.

Has the clutch fluid been changed recently. If not I bet its as black as coal and runs like water. It`ll feel like a new clutch afterward.

I'm not saying WD40 shouldn't be used, it's just not as good as products designed for releasing rusty parts. But if all you've got is WD40 then it's better than nothing. Plus gas and Halfords shock and unlock is my choice for penetrating oil.

WD40 is no good for seized bolts. It's for water displacement on electrical parts (WD) it's also very good at lubrication but no good on seized parts. You need Plus Gas or any other product designed for seized and rusted parts.

Mines actually a 2005 I just tagged along on this thread. I wrongly assumed the setup was the same as the R75 with intank and remote pump in engine bay. I'm with it now thanks for your input guys.

Thanks Mike, that's cleared it up for me. Having had a Rover 75 and MGZT for a number of years I'm use to the fuel pump being in the tank. Whenever I've done a search for a TD4 fuel pump the one in your link shows up and I'm thinking that's the one in the engine bay so I'm still looking for the...

Is it attached outside the tank because I thought it was inside the tank as in the R75.

Well you learn something new every day. I just thought the ancillaries were the same and one KV6 fits all.

Damn, not the answer I was hoping for. Thanks for making my day.

There's a guy on the 75/ZT and Mgrover.org I think his name is Kaiser takes orders for metal thermostats for the KV6 engines. To date not one failure.

I had a Rover 75 some years ago and they were renown for the in tank fuel pump to fail. You didn't know it had failed until the engine bay pump also packed in. The problem was rectified in later models with a more robust in tank pump and not requiring a engine bay pump. Did the Freelander go the...
